A Commonwealth delegation will visit Tonga this week from 23 to 24 July, for a high-level dialogue.
Dr Elizabeth Macharia, Head of the Commonwealth’s Rule of Law Section will host a dialogue on the Latimer House Principles, for members of the executive, legislature, and judiciary.
Adopted by Commonwealth countries in 2003, the Latimer House Principles are a set of guidelines to make sure that democracy functions effectively by keeping the executive, legislature, and judiciary independent, accountable and respectful of each other’s roles.
The workshop will be delivered by the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Rule of Law Section, at the request of the Government of Tonga.
The official opening of the Latimer House dialogues will be held on Wednesday, 23 July, at Fa’onelua Convention Centre, in Nuku’alofa, Tonga. The opening event is open to all interested attendees.
